Partly to reward O'Reilly for their enlightened attitude (recent or not), and partly because they sent me a 40 percent off coupon because I had the book, I purchased the EBook HTML & XHTML pocket reference. I figured the pocket reference would format well on my Sony, and it does. Only problem is it is a fat little sucker - 630 pages, so searching can take a few seconds. ToC works well, and I think it will be a useful tool as I work with EPubs.

I will continue to support publishers who bring us DRM-free books we can use, and that look good on our devices.
